I must take exception to the comments about files not working from ATARINET.
ALL programs have been tested before being sent to ATARINET. My usual path
is to send the file to the UNIX, uudecode it, dearc it, and if it dearcs ok,
then I assume the files are ok. I also take ALL new programs and place them
on a DISK OF THE MONTH for my users' group, so I know they work on the ST, too.
If it then dearcs ok, I re-uuencode it (if it doesn't have a character at the
end of each line, to prevent space truncation), or leave it as is.
The problem is REALLY brain-damaged gateways that do BAD translations of
characters. If you have gotten UUX UUE from ATARINET, this takes care of
almost all problems. The problem is definitely not ATARINET!
